Editing Darklord (section)

==Sarthak==
Darklord of the Ashram of Niranjan, Sarthak is an evil bronze dragon who poses as a mystic named Niranjan. He send agents into the Mists bearing his philosophical writings, which promise escape, peace, and enlightenment to any who adopt their teachings. Anyone who comes to his monastery is told that they must divest themselves of worldly goods, which are added to Sarthak’s hidden hoard. Sarthak then helps his victim enter a blissful trance that causes their soul to slip away from their body over the course of days. Sarthak consumes this soul and replaces it with a shadow, leaving the victim’s body under his control.

There's no indication of what his curse might be, since he's in the "Other Domains of Dread" section of the book and as such only gets a single paragraph to himself. That said, it wouldn't be ''entirely'' out of the blue to imagine that he might be a [[Shadow Dragon]] or [[Dracolich]], considering his ability to eat people's souls or replace them with shadows. The writers of the book have stated that his curse is apparently an unending and all-consuming hunger for souls.
